Trailside Naturalist – Protecting the Desert Tortoise – Gateway Trailhead

Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 8:30 am to 11:00 am

Learn about the Preserve’s desert tortoises who are long living but have a small chance to make it to adulthood.  The Conservancy is tracking these animals with a radio backpack and we will share what has been learned about these slow but mighty animals.

*Trailside Naturalist is a family-friendly educational offering on many Saturday mornings.  The presentations feature hands-on materials and specimens and cover a variety of topics about the flora and fauna of the Preserve.  The informal setting allows visitors to ask questions and learn interesting information about the amazing biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.  Sign up is not necessary, stop by anytime.
